My mini is on the way, but I will need to use it with a TV that has DVI and stereo audio inputs. I have a HDMI to DMI Cable, but TiVo is not yet listing the cables for the AV port, from which I need to get stereo audio. Does anybody know how the AV jack is wired, in terms of Tip, Ring 1, Ring2, Body?

I don't think anybody knows yet, but every jack like that I have ever encountered has body as ground, then tip, ring 1 and ring 2 as the three signals (video, L, R). If you have any cable with the right miniplug and three RCA jacks on the other end, it should work, but the colors on the connectors may be wrong. Trial and error should only take a few minutes.

It seems like TiVo may have originally wanted to push the release date for the Mini to the 17th but then caved because people were managing to get them from BestBuy anyway. Perhaps there was some supply problems with these cables and the IR extender things and that was the reason for delay?

It's hard for me to believe they didn't ship at least the AV cable with the unit -- not many people use component anymore, but there are plenty of reasons to need access to the audio. Or at worst have a coupon in the box to order the cable(s) you need for a minimal price.

I just got it today and came here seeing if anyone elses was screwed up. It has a high pitched squeal if I actually plug it in all the way. I have to leave it almost floating inside to have it be normal.

Wow, thanks Tivo for not including a "rare" cable compared to the stack of HDMI that I have.

P.S. The cables are in stock now at Tivo for $15 for the Mini with $9 shipping. First class mail for that weight is $2.....
